POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
If floor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to correct the situation.
Kitchen cabinet alignment may make range appear unlevel. Be sure cabinets are square
and have sufficient room for range clearance.
Cabinets not square or are built in too tightly. Contact builder or installer to make appliance
accessible.
Carpet interferes with range. Provide sufficient space so range can be lifted over carpet.
Make sure cord/plug is plugged tightly into outlet .
Service wiring is not complete. Contact your dealer, installing agent or authorized servicer.
Power outage. Check house lights to be sure. Call your local electric company for service.
Oven control beeps and displays -F1-, -F3- or -F9-. Electronic control has detected a fault
condition. Push the CANCEL pad to clear the display and stop the beeping. Reprogram
oven. If fault recurs, record fault number, push CANCEL pad and contact authorized
servicer.
Replace or tighten bulb. See Changing Oven Light in this Owner's Guide for instructions.
No power to the appliance. Check steps under "Entire Appliance Does Not Operate" in this

Incorrect control setting. Make sure the correct control is on for the surface unit to be used.
Lightweight or warped pans used. Use only flat, evenly balanced, medium or heavyweight
cookware. Flat pans heat better than warped pans. Cookware materials and weight of the
material affect heating. Heavy-and medium- weight pans heat evenly. Because lightweight
pans heat unevenly, foods may burn easily.
Foods with acids, such as tomatoes, if allowed to stand in/on bowls will cause corrosion.
Remove and wash drip bowls as soon as possible after spillover.
Normal environment. Houses along sea coast are exposed to salt air. Protect bowls as much
as possible from direct exposure to salt air.
Bottom surface of cookware extends beyond surface elements and touches cooktop
surface. This can cause high enough temperatures to discolor the drip bowls. DO NOT use
cookware of this type. Pan sizes should be matched to the size of the element.
Replacement drip bowls may be purchased from your dealer.
